Meet Benny Ben-Meir: The Heart and the Mind Behind Proleafera ✋ I'm Benny, a fourth-generation Israeli farmer from Moshav Tel Adashim. Growing up, I was deeply connected to the land. My family's farming roots ran deep, and I learned the value of hard work and nurturing the earth. This shaped my passion for agriculture and my vision for its future - not just as a traditional practice, but as an agri-tech revolution. My journey hasn't been without its challenges. I've ventured into various business opportunities, facing obstacles and setbacks. But these experiences didn't discourage me; they strengthened my determination. They taught me the power of resilience and the importance of pursuing a vision with unwavering commitment. What drove me to create Proleafera? It started with discovering moringa - a unique super plant with incredible nutritional value. I was captivated by its potential as a natural source of protein and its health benefits. The more I learned, the more I realized its untapped potential to transform global nutrition. This discovery inspired me to think beyond traditional agriculture and focus on creating an innovative, comprehensive approach. But what truly sets me apart is my ability to move mountains and bring people along with me. My passion and drive have become the heartbeat of Proleafera, rallying the team around a shared vision. Through my leadership, we're not just building a product - we're building a movement for a healthier, more #sustainable future 🌍 #meettheteam #goteam #agritech

Israeli Startup Raised $20 Million to Expand Precision-Spray Tech Greeneye Technology, an Israel-based precision agriculture tech company, raised $20 million. Deep Insight, an Israeli investment company, led the round with participation from existing investors Syngenta Group Ventures, JVP, Orbia Ventures, and Mellanox. Farmers increasingly face challenges with spraying chemical herbicides via conventional broadcast. Greeneye’s technology can detect and spray only those areas with weeds, rather than hitting crops or bare ground. Greeneye will use the funding to scale up its operations in the USA and introduce new features and capabilities to its system. “A big concern today for farmers is, they’re running out of tools to manage the weeds on the farm because of resistance,” explains Greeneye CEO Nadav Bocher. “Farmers are getting excited about this technology not only because of the savings but also because of the options it opens as far as weed control”. The total funding the startup raised is $45 million. Greeneye launched its technology in 2022. Source: https://lnkd.in/dWt2cCBq

Welcome back to your favorite series The Evolution of Alt. Proteins - part 3/5 15 years after Tnuva’s first soy product hit the market, soy milk had become a staple in the refrigerators of startups and high-tech companies across Tel Aviv.  The trend caught on, especially among the young, urban population. Cafes began offering soy milk initially at an extra cost and eventually as a standard option. The key takeaway from this period is that market waves often start with early adopters, typically younger consumers in urban centers that are more climate and sustainability conscious. Their acceptance and demand can drive a product into the mainstream, allowing for broader conversations about its benefits, including nutritional value.  This demand shook up the industry so that more players could enter the market with new technologies and product innovation. Curious what the second wave of alt. Protein and how GenZ is driving it? Stay tuned ;) #earlyadopters #genz #alternativeproteins

Over the past decade, I have reviewed over 1,000 cv's in search for the best team members to join our team. I see a lot of people in Israel in need of jobs these days so sharing some tips from my experience as a manager and Organizational Psychologist that I hope can be helpful. If you have any questions or additional insights, please feel free to comment below or pm me. I divided the job-seeking journey into 4 stages: 1. Self-reflection 2. CV building 3. Networking 4. “Dating” your future boss In this post I will cover some pointers for the first 3 stages. Next post will cover pointers for the last stage. *Self-reflection* 1. Self-reflection and understanding what you are good at and what you are passionate about. 2. Who are you - Need to be able to answer this in 2-3 lines at the top of the CV. Are you a manager and looking to be in a leadership role or more of a hands-on executive? Is your focus marketing/sales/coding/project management? Pro tip: Ask your friends to be honest with you and share the value they see you bring. It will crystalize your own view as well. *CV and LinkedIn profile* 1. CV building - how does your future boss know you are great at what you do? What success and impact did you have that you can articulate with numbers? 2. The design is great. But the most important is the content. Make sure clear description in the header what you do and keep it short, with bullet points and a 1-pager. Make sure no mistakes. If there is even 1 typo, it is a no-go. 3. Passion talks. Years ago I hired a young man with very little experience because he came with great passion and told me how he taught himself code at age 11. See how you can find that story that highlights your greatness. *Networking* 1. Networking and asking friends for an intro or to put in a good word. Identify 10 people you will have coffee with to brainstorm your career. Some will give you great advice. Others will give you a good lead. 2. Don't only think about networking with those who can give you the job today but rather with those who know people that can help you. 3. The best way to build trust is to show your work in action. I once hired someone because he reached out and explained to me in a loom video why one of my client websites stinked and how that can be fixed. He didn't tell me what he does but showed me. What tips have you found as a manager that you would give future employees?

Take a look at this picture. It was taken today at our Salesforce offices in Tel-Aviv. It shows a few dozens of Salesforce Israel employees in one of our regular all-hands meetings. What's so special about that? Well, that picture was taken exactly 36 hours after Iran launched a massive aerial strike against Israel with 100s of UCAVs, ballistic and cruise missiles carrying about 60 tons(!) of explosives. Thanks to the Israeli Air force, the air forces of the US, UK, France, Jordan and others *and* Israeli innovation and engineering talent who developed the most advanced multi-layered air defense systems in the world - luckily that attack ended up with relatively low impact. It was a sleepless night for all us in Israel who got an advanced notice of the attack and basically spent that night bracing for impact. Now take another look at this picture. 36 hours later - People showing up at the office, talking to each other, having a few laughs, having meetings, discussing deadlines, solving business problems, discussing engineering problems, doing demos, having coffee and lunch together, having an all-hands meeting together. 36 hours ago we were bracing for impact of 60 tons of explosives that were about to fall out of the sky. Take another look at this picture - This is how resilience looks like. You can count on us. We deliver. No matter what. https://lnkd.in/eXSvz3xv
